Goal: Lighten very dark hair to previously bleached level and remove all dye that took place following the bleach.

Background: I have layers of bleach and dye(permanent, semi and Demi) on my hair thick curly naturally black level 1 hair. I had my hair "professionally" balayaged blonde from my black hair, it ended up becoming extremely damaged beyond repair. After many deep conditionings and a hair cut, I then placed a Demi black hair dye over to help hair look healthier and all one color. Then a few months later, I used the loreal hi color (a permanent dye) in Red and a purplish red. And here I am back to craving that blonde balayage look, you know, the one that turned out so awful the first time(#what?). I read great reviews on this product and thought it'd see if my hair would lighten back to before the red, before the black, and back to lighter pieces where my hair had been bleached.

Process:- The product sat in my hair capped/smelled horrible for 20 minutes, I then used Wen shampoo to rinse the product, conditioned, the found hair still smelled bad and also remembered the instructions said to *shampoo multiple times for best results!*, then scrubbed Head & Shoulders shampoo as it's a very harsh shampoo(maybe a little too harsh, hair felt extremely dry after that shampooing). After about 15 minutes of shampooing then used loreal restructure(?) conditioner(so good).

Outcome:- Hair feels soft and silky; I found no damage done from the extra strength Color Oops- Hair feels light and cleansed (like not loaded with dye processes!)- I am clearly able to see where the old highlights were placed eons ago- Hair still has some red tones(maybe just brassy, can't tell which dye process is contributing to this) but is much lighter where highlights and balayage had been done(mostly everywhere over time)- Final outcome is a buffet of reddish/brown shades and maybe some dark honey blonde shades- Will bleach or tone to look nicer

The product works, but be prepared - you will probably have to cut your hair off anyway because it will stink permanently. After following instructions to the letter, and spending two weeks shampooing repeatedly, my hair still smells heavily of sulfur. It doesn't appear that it will ever go away, so I will have to cut the long hair I've been growing for two years. Very unhappy.

I expected the smell to be WAY worse after reading all the reviews of Colour Oops. It is runny, but not so runny that it will run down your head and everywhere. The smell during the application is bad, but about 5 minutes into applying it, the smell gets bearable and not super bad. The key is to rinse and shampoo back and forth for about 25-30 minutes, which is what I did. I shampoo and rinsed for 25 minutes. My hair was a bit dry at this point in the shower, so I put on some conditioner (the kind that comes with hair dye, but you can use any) and left it on for 8 minutes. Washed the conditioner out, and my hair was back to the beautiful light brownish colour that I had before dying my hair dark brown! There is some smell of colour oops in my hair but not as bad as reviews have said it is, again, the smell is bearable. Also remember to always follow the instructions and the VERY important strand test before using!

I colored my hair to cover grays and roots w/ash brown that was more ash. I hated the black color and had to get it out. I started at my ends and worked up to the roots. Leaning over the sink and rinsing for 20 min is necessary for this to work and it did! I loved the warm brown I ended up with - no roots showing, no grays, no need to recolor! I did use a 3 minute intensive conditioner after the 2nd shampoo and rinse in order to get a comb thru my hair.

I messed up my hair with an awkward brown semi-permanent dye over my already bleached/colored hair. To go back to normal, I tried Color Oops (Extra Strength).Pros: IT WORKS - it stripped out all of the color and then some (which is why I said Be Careful) - CONS: It works like a charm, but depending on what color you had in your hair, you will need to dye over it (or tone it like I had to). I went from patchy brown to highlighted "blonde" (but brassy). One tone later and it was exactly where I wanted it to be. Also it smells horrifically bad - as in you'll need to keep cleaning your bathroom with bleach to get this god awful sulfur smell out.

I absolutely can't believe how well my hair turned out. I would have to say, I was totally scared to buy this product because I was afraid it would damage my already damaged hair. (I am always dying my hair a different color!) my hair was splat red and black. I have had awful experiences with splat in my past and bleach just didn't cut it without absolutely frying my head. However, aside from the smell, which isn't godawful, just a bit smelly, color oops pleasantly surprised me! The aloe and moisturizing products in color oops actually made my straw like hair fuller and softer. And I mean significantly! I usually have oily hair, and this did not make me greasy, or dry me out. It took out almost all of the red on top, and left me with slightly orange tinted ends on the side of my head. I don't mind, it actually looks kinda cool. I have slight dark tints underneath the top layer of my bangs, since I split dye my hair, from the black dye, but you can't see it since my bangs on top are blonde! All in all, since I didn't use the extra strength Color oops, and used the extra conditioning color oops, I may not have gotten super light, however, I am very happy with my hair as of now, and I will conintue to use it if need be. I may do it again to remove the extra orangey tint later on, because I know it will not damage my hair in the slightest. Very happy!

Had colored my hair to what it came to be a way darker than desired color. I used this product and actually achieved the mahogany shade that I was looking for so I did not have to recolor my hair. Overall I am satisfied with this product as it does what it is intended for. The only bad thing about this product is that it has a very strong unpleasant scent and left my hair feeling a little dry.

I was honestly disappointed in this product. My hair has been box dyed black for years and I was getting tired of black so I used this to hopefully achieve at least a dark brown. The color I achieved was reddish roots but the rest of my hair remained black and did not lift at alllll. I was expecting just a little magic maybe at least something. The process was really time consuming, a waste of money, and a waste of putting chemicals on my healthy hair. Guess it'll be black hair for life.
